The split collars look like they are for the MAG gas system. I've never seen a scraper like that for the rifles, just the LMG and GPMG.

You're right. GPMG gas plug cleaner. Good, but no cigar as dunking the parts in a bottle of vinegar was twice as good. If you want to clean your L1 gas plug, do the same but you MUST rinse it in clean water afterwards to clear the acid (is it acaetic acid...?) from the spring and plunger, dry it off and put oil in the spring hollow.
The actual part number is not truly indicative of a part from anywhere really. It is the prefix that identifies the weapon. B1= rifle C1= GPMG (or is it C2?)

Thanks chaps.
Good to know other people appreciate the cleaning benefit of vinegar. I use it to great effect on gummed up motorcycle carburetors!
Cheers.

I've got a bin full of those front sight brush guards. Wonder who thought those up?

I don't think that they are foresight brush or bush guards Brian. We didn't have them in Malaya where you really DO need something! What would you do in the jungle if you suddenly came under fire? It'd be a bit of a sod having to stop and take it off before you could return some aimed fire.
They were a protective cover for drill and parades. Much like the black SUSAT covers and handguard covers used on parades

That certainly makes much more sense. I can't remember who coined that term. I don't even see it listed in the IPL. I agree wholeheartedly that it would be useless on patrol in any type of terrain.
Anyone want/need one? CHEAP!!
